OCTOBER 11th-12th, 2014
This was posted already, but in the Events & Planning section without being specific to the southwest, so I'm guessing nobody saw it, so here it is again, copied and somewhat modified :
First things first. I agree that we should pick a different place to eat at the end of the drive. I also like the idea of getting something like Subway for the cruise itself so nobody's starving in the mountains. I'd also rather eat breakfast at a real restaurant.
I trust that next year, the employee situation at my work won't be so dire and I can spend more time down there, like an extra day on either side; the arrival so I won't have to drive 840 miles all at once and being awake for 39 hours straight to boot, and another day to do the cruise again and still take my time returning home.
The Days Inn is certainly nicer than the Black Angus, so it would depend on how cheap they'd go with a group rate. Otherwise, the fact that these 2 motels are right next to each other works out quite well.
I also think it would be cool to incorporate a time to just park all the Beetles somewhere and have a sort of informal show where townspeople can see us. No trophies or anything, just an informal gathering, like in a park or a large parking lot like Wal Mart or something.

Then we can have a picnic at the Rich Mountain Fire Tower.
